"Celtic Tiger" as a metaphor for the Irish economic boom is very widely used, both in Ireland and internationally. Economic historians will continue to find it a convenient term for the unique period in the history of Ireland, for many decades to come

THE UK ECONOMIST WHO COINED TERM "CELTIC TIGER"
UK economist Kevin Gardiner, head of global equity strategy at the investment banking unit of global bank HSBC, in 1994 coined the term Celtic Tiger, comparing Ireland's unexpected economic take-off to the Asian tiger economies.

Kevin was then working with US investment bank Morgan Stanley (Kevin Gardiner, 'The Irish Economy: a Celtic tiger', MS Euroletter, 31 August 1994).
